  1. We call for an immediate ceasefire in Israel and Gaza.
  2. We call for negotiations and prisoner exchanges to secure the freedom of those unjustly held in Gaza and in Israel.
  3. We call for an immediate end to the Israeli siege of Gaza so that needed water, food, fuel, and medicine can be received.
  4. We call for the state of Israel to respect the right of conscientious objectors to refuse to serve in the IDF.
  5. We urge diasporic Jews to support Palestinian and Israeli peace activists and to use our voices to call on our own governments to support a just and peaceful settlement.
  6. We urge all people to speak out with clarity against Islamophobia and Antisemitism.

In signing this petition, we ask our elected members of the US House, Senate, and the President to take action in support of the peace process and to put pressure on the state of Israel and Hamas to bring about an immediate ceasefire.

Why people sign

This war has cost so many thousands of civilians their lives! Also it’s a violation of international law to cut of water food and fuel from civilians and starving them to death even if it’s during a war! It’s very painful to watch these civilians in pain and can’t do anything from miles and miles away! These are their human rights! Americans are getting very frustrated and we have the right to speak up!
